Classes being offered this semester, as a beginning in the new College of Commerce, are filled with enthusiastic students, many who were formerly interested in the economics courses and several new students have registered in some of the classes.
The new College of Commerce curriculum, to be used at the opening of next term, is being formulated and will be ready for publication jJiis spring. The courses will be complete in every detail. Policies that have been successful in other universities will be adopted.
The course will include work that will fit the students for positions ranging from secretarial jobs to junior administrative and commercial teaching positions.
Most of the courses will be for upper division students, Sophomores who have had practical business work will be allowed to enter some classes. It is urged that a good Liberal Arts education be procured before any attempt is made to carry the commercial courses.
The standard of the new school is expected to be very high, the aim in view being to make the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration from U. S.C. be regarded as highly as that from any college of commerce in the United States. Students who intend entering the new courses next term are requested to notify the registrar.
Play 1 ryouts to Be Held Wednesday—Many Aspirants for Leading Roles Expected
J. F. Markey, chairman of Junior Play Committee, announced yesterday that “Green Stockings,” a farce-com-edy, has been selected for presentation by the Junior class. After many and Prolonged consultations with the chairman of the Faculty Committee, Dr. Allison Gaw, who is also President of the local chapter of the Drama League, it was decided that a farce-comedy would be the most suitable for Production. “Green Stockings,” as the name suggests, is a rather light, but screamingly funny comedy by A. E. W. Mason. The play affords the actors Plenty of opportunity to display their dramatic talents.
Tryouts Today Tryouts for the play will be held l°day at 3:00 in Athena Hall. Every °Dfc who expects a tryout should have the play through by that time. There will probably be a short one-ct curtain raiser put on with the P&y. This will make it possible for Juniors to use more of their a entB than is required by the cast for ^reen Stockings/*
HOTEL ALEXANDRIA TO BE
SCENE OF HUGE BANQUET
The banquet hall of the Hotel Alexandria has been selected as the place for holding the Greater University of Southern California banquet Friday evening, February 27. This was the announcement made yesterday by Paul B. Wilcox, manager of the banquet.
“The Alexandria has what is perhaps the finest hall for a university banquet in this city,” Wilcox said. “The management has assured us that we will be given service and cuisine for which its establishment is famous.
“About 400 tickets will be sold by number next Friday, low numbers first, to faculty and students alike. No one person will be allowed to buy more
than two tickets. These tickets will be redeemed the following Tuesday or Wednesday and reserved table checks issued in their stead. The low numbers will be given first choice of tables from the chart. Each table seats eight persons. Tables, not seats, will be reserved.
“It is, therefore ,suggested that organizations buy their numbered tickets as close together as possible in line. If eight mixed tickets are presented, the places they represent will be reserved according to the majority of their low and high numbers.”
A free ticket to the banquet will be presented to Lloyd Rogers, winner of the largest number of points in the novice track meet held Friday.
Coed Favors Brunette
Stars
The brunettes have it! Two of them at that! This seems to be the decision of U.S.C. co-eds on the Favorite Actress question. No longer do the golden-haired, sky-blue-eyed darlings of former popularity reign supreme. Of a large group of women students in the University a remarkably large number voted for Marguerite Clark. Lila Lee took second place. So you see the dusky tresses are in high favor just at present.
Miss Clark’s high place in the hearts of U.S.C. movie fans is attributed, first to her naive grace and naturalness of acting, and second, to the clear and charming quality of her vehicles. Rarely is this dainty actress seen in a problem play, or a piece of suggestive character. She prefers children’s plays or farciful trifles which make artstic and entertaining productions.
Lila Lee's adherents maintain that she is capable of a range of parts un-approached by any other actress. She can play the smiling maid, the high lady and the tiny youngster with equal skill. Furthermore, she has a piquant beauty, all her own, which adds not a little to peculiar attractiveness of her offerings.
WILLIAM H. CRANE TO ADDRESS ASSEMBLY FRIDAY
Lance and Lute will present William H. Crane, veteran American actor, Friday morning in the Chapel. Mr. Crane will talk on his career and will probably tell anecdotes concerning his own stage experience and that of other state notables.
Mr. Crane lias been connected with the American stage for fifty-six years, having begun \tfhen the stage was practically in its infancy in the United States. His career is an example of the possibilities of success in the business side of the stage.
U.S.C. PUBLICATION_ WILL TRAVEL BY AIR

The two publications will travel side by side in a flying machine from the Mercury Aviation company, and will leap out of the plane as it passes over the Liberal Arts campus.
An opportunity for twelve students to take 15-minute rides in the machine at a cut-in-half price will be offered the following Friday, February 27, at Exposition Park. Any students who care to take advantage of this opportunity may pay their $7.50 and make reservations with the editor of The Trojan.
CONTEST FOR YELLS TO CLOSE IN MARCH
